MIDTERM RALLYING CRY: Trump Tells MAGA to “Pretend I Am on the Ballot,” Vows to Spend Money Helping Republicans President Donald Trump is urging his MAGA supporters to turn out for Republican candidates in the November midterm elections as though his own name were on the ballot, while pledging to personally use his political influence and financial resources to help GOP candidates during the campaign’s final five weeks. ​ Trump issued the appeal Monday morning on Truth Social as Republicans fight to preserve their narrow majority in the House and their control of the Senate. ​ “MAGA, pretend I am on the ballot,” Trump wrote. “Don’t let them open your Borders, and allow crime to again flourish. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!!!” ​ The message came as Trump praised Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, following Roberts’ television appearance Monday morning, during which he pushed back against recent assessments suggesting that Republicans are facing increasingly difficult political conditions heading into Election Day. ​ “The topic was Fake Polls and how well the Republicans are going to do in the upcoming Midterms,” Trump wrote. ​ Trump also made clear that he plans to become personally involved in helping Republican candidates across the country during the final stretch of the campaign. ​ “I’ll be out there spending money, and helping every one of them get elected,” Trump said. “I won most of these places, often by a landslide.” ​ Roberts challenged increasingly pessimistic assessments of Republican prospects, arguing that Washington political analysts have repeatedly been wrong and that individual congressional races remain highly competitive. ​ He described control of the House as a “jump ball” and argued that analysts could be underestimating conservative turnout. Roberts also disputed predictions of major Republican difficulties in Senate contests, pointing to several races where he believes GOP candidates can remain competitive. ​ Trump’s push comes just days after the nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted its ratings in 15 House races toward Democrats, reflecting what its analysts described as an increasingly favorable political environment for Democrats. ​ Two Republican-held districts — Arizona’s 1st Congressional District and New Jersey’s 7th — were moved from Toss Up to Lean Democrat. ​ Three additional GOP-held seats, including the Texas district represented by Rep. Monica De La Cruz, moved into the Toss Up category. ​ Following the changes, Cook currently places 208 House races in the Democratic column and 205 in the Republican column, with 22 contests rated Toss Ups. Of those 22 Toss Ups, 17 are Republican-held seats and five are Democratic-held seats. ​ Republicans, however, enter the final stretch with a substantial financial advantage at the congressional campaign committee level. ​ The National Republican Congressional Committee finished August with $89 million in cash on hand, compared with $76 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, giving Republicans a roughly $13 million advantage. ​ The $13 million edge is the largest the NRCC has held over its Democratic counterpart at this stage of an election cycle. ​ Republicans have also begun putting that money to work across the House battlefield. As of Sept. 18, the NRCC had spent approximately $16.9 million on advertising across 39 districts, compared with roughly $3.7 million spent by the DCCC across 13 districts. ​ Cook House analyst Erin Covey has said the current environment points to a Democratic gain of between five and 15 seats, although that assessment could change substantially during the remaining weeks of the campaign. ​ Trump, however, is signaling that he intends to make himself a central part of the GOP’s closing argument. ​ His request that supporters behave as though he personally were on the ballot reflects one of the Republican Party’s major challenges in a midterm election: motivating voters who strongly support Trump to participate even though the president himself is not standing for election. ​ With Election Day approaching and control of Congress hinging on a relatively small number of competitive districts, Trump indicated Monday that he plans to put his money, political organization and personal appeal behind Republican candidates. ​ “I’ll be out there spending money, and helping every one of them get elected,” Trump said.
